The first book in a new trilogy from acclaimed New York Times
bestselling author Rae Carson. A young woman with the magical ability
to sense the presence of gold must flee her home, taking her on a
sweeping and dangerous journey across Gold Rush–era America.

Lee
Westfall has a secret. She can sense the presence of gold in the world
around her. Veins deep beneath the earth, pebbles in the river, nuggets
dug up from the forest floor. The buzz of gold means warmth and life and
home—until everything is ripped away by a man who wants to control her.
Left with nothing, Lee disguises herself as a boy and takes to the
trail across the country. Gold was discovered in California, and where
else could such a magical girl find herself, find safety?
